Outrage Spreads over New Images
BASRA, Feb 16 (IPS) - New footage of British soldiers beating up young Iraqi men in Amarah city in 2003, and the release of more photographs of atrocities by U.S. soldiers against Iraqi detainees in Abu Ghraib prison has spread outrage across Iraq.

...

Far from cooperating, people in Basra are now prepared to fight the occupation forces, he said. "What these beatings and torture show is that the occupiers are both assaulting and insulting all of the Iraqi people."

2. True dat
The day chicken george got re-elected I peeled the american flag decal off my car and tossed it in the trash--never to return. I replaced it with an anti bush sticker and a Darwin fish. Suffice to say--not so proud to be and american.

3. I'm sure everyone here thinks it is silly
that anyone in the Middle East should be upset over some "frat pranks." :sarcasm:
